Well, Windows isn't going to change its behavior just for you. So, you might need to take additional steps to deal with this. On the other hand, if you just ran it on Linux (or other OSs with case-sensitive filesystems) in the first place, you wouldn't have encountered the problem, right? The only time you should encounter a problem is if you start running it on Windows, then need to migrate it and its existing data to Linux. So it seems to me that you can either (a) add functionality to the application to normalize cases just for Windows, or (b) create a normalization process for migration purposes. I'd go with (b) I think.
